The Kapalua cap, for the town that means arms embracing the sea. An unstructured cotton dad cap with the Kapalua vintage retro logo embroidered on the front in black thread.

The cap is the easiest Kapalua piece to wear every day and the easiest to give: one size, breathable cotton, a curved visor and an antique-brass buckle. It softens with wear and stays on the hook by the door. Order one for the beach bag and one for the glovebox.

This unisex dad cap is made from breathable cotton in a low-profile, unstructured 6-panel shape with a Permacurv visor. A self-fabric hideaway strap with antique-brass buckle adjusts the fit, and a matching undervisor and four-row visor stitching add durability. The embroidered finish is classic and vintage-inspired. All colors 100% cotton; camo is 65% polyester / 35% cotton. Because embroidery uses thread (not ink), slight differences from the digital product image are normal and part of the process — see our Embroidery footer for full details.

Dwight Baldwin settled West Maui in 1836 and his 1853 grant became Honolua Ranch, where David Fleming planted pineapple in the early 1900s and Baldwin Packers shipped it for decades. The resort rose on those plantation lands from the 1970s: the Bay Course in 1975, the first hotel in 1979, the Plantation Course in 1991.

Kapalua Bay’s two points reach out to embrace the sea, Honolua Bay next door is a marine conservation district and a famous surf break, and the Plantation Course opened the PGA Tour season for more than twenty-five years. Molokaʻi and Lānaʻi lie across the channel. Arms embracing the sea is the mark on this piece.

Product FAQs

How does your sizing work?

Every item is made to order, so please check the size chart on this page before you buy. Women's fitted tees run small; size up for a looser fit. Caps are one size with an adjustable strap.

How are items made and when will they arrive?

We make each item to order using premium blanks, embroidery and soft-hand prints. Production takes 2-5 business days (weekends and holidays excluded), then 4-10 days in transit via USPS, UPS or FedEx to U.S. addresses; most orders arrive within 6-15 business days.

How do I send a gift?

Enter the recipient's address as the shipping address and your own as the billing address at checkout. Nothing ships with a price; the package includes a plain packing slip. Tracking goes to your email, not theirs. For birthdays and holidays, order two weeks ahead to be safe.

More From Kapalua Hawaiʻi

All Kapalua Hawaiʻi Items

Our Kapalua logo carries the Hawaiian hibiscus above "Hawaiian Kingdom — Est. 1795," the shared retro emblem of our Hawaii towns; the hibiscus stands for the islands themselves, and 1795 marks the year Kamehameha I brought most of the Hawaiian Islands together into a single kingdom. Rendered in worn black-and-white, like a vintage travel decal or a fruit-crate label, it ties Kapalua to every other Hawaii place we make. What makes this one Kapalua is the story behind the mark — the embracing bay, the pineapple plantation, and the golf coast that grew up where the fields once ran.

What's with America's best beach? For years, when travel writers and the coastal scientists who rank such things went looking for the finest beach in the United States, they kept landing in the same place: Kapalua Bay, a small crescent of gold sand on the northwest corner of Maui, cradled between two black lava points that reach into the water like a pair of arms. Those points knock down the swell, so the cove stays calm and clear over a living reef — easy swimming and snorkeling in postcard-blue water, with the islands of Molokai and Lanai floating on the horizon. The bay is the reason the name fits: Kapalua means "arms embracing the sea." One look at the cove and you stop wondering why.

Why People Visit Kapalua

Visitors come to Kapalua for the bays — the calm, reef-fringed water that earns the best-beach lists — and stay for the layered scenery: a manicured golf coast, plantation uplands, and the channel islands on the horizon. It is quiet, walkable, and built to let West Maui's landscape take the lead. Equal parts beach, history, and big ocean views, Kapalua rewards anyone who wants the Hawaiian coast at its most embracing.
